Simultaneous Issue Transactions:
When an owner's policy and a loan policy are issued simultaneously, the rate applicable for the owner's policy shall be the regular owner's rate. In all cases the owner's policy shall be issued for the sale price of the property or, in the even there is no sale, the value of the premises. An additional $25.00 (DC & MD) or $100 (VA) will be added to the premium whenever a simultaneous issue occurs. These rates are based on the First American Title Insurance Company "Eagle Policy." Quotes for other title insurers and other title insurance products are available upon request.

Re-Issue Rate Policy:
To qualify for a reissue rate, the borrower must provide the (seller's) current owner's title policy which must be less than 10 (ten) years old. The reissue rate is based on the the face amount (coverage) of the (seller's) current policy. However, if the buyer qualifies for the Real Credit Program then we can only honor EITHER the re-issue rate or the Real Credit, not both.
